This Jimmy Lile large locking folder is an early piece from the maker, with a micarta insert handle and a blade that is hand signed. The seller grades it excellent and notes that these early Lile folders are highly sought after by collectors. The hand signature on the blade is the point of authentication, and the micarta insert is the handle treatment described.

For a Connecticut knife collector the three things that count are all present: a signed blade, early production from the maker, and a condition grade of excellent. It is a folding lock-blade, so it is a working pattern as much as a display one, though a piece in this condition will likely stay in the case. It ships as a parts and accessories item to your door with no dealer transfer.
